Whataburger

Carpetbagging California burger chains can establish footholds in the Lone Star State. But to fast-food-loving Texans, one chain remains king: Whataburger. The orange-striped drive-thrus serve as a local-ish oasis in a sea of globalized fast-food options. The burger is fantastic, but it’s the little extras that have earned Whataburger a cult following, like its signature spicy ketchup and massive Texas toast patty melts.
